New self contained systems and cases from
Pittsburg Modular. This could be a sign of what's to come. One of the psychological barriers in getting into modulars has been where to start and how to put everything together. Mini systems like this not only break that barrier but can be more portable and configurable in the studio. They can also lead to easier integration with non-eurorack formats. It's an interesting thing when you think about it. Getting an empty case and filling it up can be fun, but psychologically it can lock you into a format. When you look at these systems, you in essence see individual desktop synths that happen to be modular, inviting you to integrate them with other formats of gear, not just modular.
Update: If you are heading to NAMM you'll find them at Hall A Booth 6005.
